Hello I hope everyone is well and coping with the heat, especially all your four legged friends.
Well 2 weeks post op and I am doing alright. Managing to do exercises, and walk about.
Managed to escape the four walls yesterday and go for a little walk on the pavement 😁
Staples out tomorrow 😬 and physio starting on 8th July.
Would be lovely to hear how you are all doing with your training.
Remember on hot days you don't have to exercise your dog to tire them out. Lots of mental stimulation games are good.
Well enjoy the Summer and hope to hear some stories of what you been doing with four legged friend Or pictures of how your dogs are keeping cool!
🌞😎🐾🐾😁

Well done to Geoff, Sue and Liz and there lovely dogs who have all pasted their 6-week Fundamental training course this month.
They have all worked so hard and have been doing training at home. Keep going!! Thank you all for your patience what with the rain and rescheduling, and for me hobbling around at training.
It has been great fun working with all of you.
I will not be training for some weeks as I am due an operation at the end of this week. But you can contact me at : [email protected] for advice on training.
Have a good Summer and look forward to seeing you later in the year! 😁🐾🐾

Let’s talk about yearly vaccines — because not enough people are questioning them.

We titre test. Every year. Because we want data, not assumptions. And what we’ve found? Most dogs still have strong immunity years after their last vaccine. So why are we still jabbing them annually? Habit? Policy? Profit?

The truth is, over-vaccination is still happening — not because it’s backed by science, but because it’s easier than updating protocols. And too many clinics are afraid to challenge the status quo. That’s not healthcare, that’s lazy medicine.

Titre testing isn’t “alternative” or fringe. It’s evidence-based. It protects immunity and avoids unnecessary immune stress. But try bringing it up in the wrong vet clinic and watch the conversation get awkward real quick.

It’s time more vets started explaining the actual options — not just printing reminders for outdated vaccine schedules.

You don’t need to be anti-vax to be pro-informed choice.

Agree? Disagree? Drop your thoughts. This one needs a proper discussion.

After attending some puppy classes and feeling like they were not gaining much from them, Helen & Mark contacted me for some 1-2-1 training for their lovely Golden doodle.
They started a 6-week Fundamental training course and I'm pleased to say they completed it last week. They can't believe the difference in Violets behaviour and how much they are enjoying taking her for a walk now. So much so I am pleased that they will be coming back to do a Bronze certificate after they have been on holiday. Well done to Helen & Mark
and Violet for being a star 🐾⭐

🐾🐾 Dogs possess remarkable sensory abilities that allow them to perceive things beyond human detection, often leading to behaviors that seem paranormal. For example, they can sense subtle environmental changes, like the pressure drop before a storm, due to their acute hearing and sensitivity to vibrations.

Dogs are also thought to detect seismic activity, such as earthquakes, before humans feel them. Their ability to sense low-frequency vibrations or changes in the Earth's magnetic field may explain this behavior, though scientific evidence is still inconclusive.

Another remarkable ability dogs have is detecting illnesses in humans. Their sense of smell is so refined that they can identify changes in a person’s body chemistry, such as fluctuations in blood sugar or even the presence of cancer.

Dogs are highly attuned to human emotions, often sensing when their owners are upset or anxious. This emotional sensitivity sometimes leads them to exhibit behaviors like comforting or protecting their owners.

Lastly, dogs occasionally act strangely, staring at empty spaces or barking at nothing, which many attribute to their acute senses picking up stimuli beyond human perception. 🐾🐾

Well done to Gary & Chewie for completing their 6 week training course. Gary has worked really hard with Chewies training.
When they first came to training I thought wow this puppy is full
on. Gary & Tracy had rehomed Chewie and had only had him 2 weeks before he came to training. And had no previous training.
Chewie can now do sit and waits.
Sit and wait with movement around him. Gary can put food on the floor and disappear out of sight and Chewie makes no attempt to touch the food until he is told to do so. He has calmed down so much and is becoming a super little dog.
Well done again Gary & Tracy for working so hard with your training. 👏

Hello reposting this post.
Owner has tried to keep Bentley, but partner is still not happy about having/keeping the him. 🙁
Hello I have just been contacted by a customer, who is sadly needing to rehome his Black Labrador. I have been training with the dog for the last 3 months, so he is obedient 😊
He is 5 years old and has been castrated, he is a lovely boy and likes to play and be part of the family.
They feel that they can't give him the time now as they have a baby.
So if anyone knows of someone who would be interested, please message me 🐾😪
Thank you

A Big well done to Dave & Bella for passing their Bronze award today!
Dave rehomed Bella 9 months ago and they have been coming for training with me since the end of October 2024. They have completed their 6 week puppy course, and today finished their Bronze. I am one very happy trainer at how they have progressed with their training, and even more pleased that they will be progressing onto the Silver award.
Well done!! 🐾🥈
